FRUCTOSE
Fructose is a monosaccharide, in dry form it is a very
sweet, white, odorless, crystalline solid. Fructose also has the distinction of
being the most water soluble of the sugars. It is absorbed directly into the
bloodstream during digestion and is often times referred to as fruit sugar
because of its high concentration in fruits, but it is also found in some
vegetables and honey.
Fructolysis or fructose catabolism is analogous to glycolysis,
the catabolism of glucose.
If you consume high fructose foods the result is a lower
circulating level of insulin and leptin. Since both insulin and leptin decrease
appetite it is suspected that high fructose consumption increases weight gain.
